Northern Pacific Railway fans

Here's a photo of our Northern Pacific Railway baggage car fresh from the factory paint shop - with the authentic NP Loewy Light and Dark Green. So NP fans rest assure, it's a match. I am grateful for the historical society's paint chips! (Hint if you are from another historical society: I think other historical societies should make available paint chips like NPRHA.)  Looks like our factory problems are solved. Full steam ahead!

Happy Tuesday!

I couldn't pass this photo up of a happy Union Pacific 0-6-0 No. 4466.

BTW-   We have some really cool HO Piggy-Packers in now stock. The shopping carts for our new N-scale 70-ton 53'-6" Fish Belly Flatcars should all be up by end of Tuesday or Wed. In the meantime, have a very happy awesome Tuesday!

Rolling West . . .

I was in Roseville (about 20 miles outside of Sacramento) trying out my new FujiFilm XE-2 camera on the many Union Pacific trains rolling out of their massive freight yard. Thumbs up for my new camera. Here is No. 9913, a SD-59MX, leading un-rebuilt cousin SD-60M with a long string freight. While I was rapidly loosing daylight, I manage to capture a blur of PC&F RBL box cars. They are the same cars as Wheels of Time N-Scale PC&F 70-ton 50-ft insulated box cars, except ours is just slightly neater in appearance. Enjoy.
